CentaurMan Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I don't have a 3, 4, or 5 (although in theory I know where to find them). Price is a bottleneck on these, and it's part of the fun to try and find copies at reasonable levels. Here's my #6: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentaurMan Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 and yes, I've starting stamping all of my higher grade books "HG" so I can easily identify them. Good system, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Great cover. You do know it was used for Federal Men #2, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrk Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Here's #12. Neat coloring on this one. Are the colors from the scanner off a touch or are they correct? Here is my very low grade copy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFB Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Looks like the blues have faded a bit on your copy. Still a great book though! Have you read it yet, or did you buy it pre-slabbed?

Have you read it yet, or did you buy it pre-slabbed Read a comic? What do you take me for? Naah... I bought the book slabbed.

CentaurMan Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 No #13 for me yet. But here's my #15: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolJ Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 here's my contribution; let me know if anyone has a 27 or 29 they want to let go of. By the way, not to be an *spoon* but what's the story behind detective comics=Tec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikephoen Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Great books coolJ! The #36 looks incredible for a 4.5. What in your opinion brings it down? The front looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolJ Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I know, I'm thrilled with this book. There is a minor crease down the middle of the book, if you look from the just to the right of batman's head at the top logo you can see it, otherwise I can't see anything through the case. It looks more like an 8 to me. Likely there are tears or pieces missing in the pages, otherwise who the hell knows? I should ask for the grading notes.
